7 Quick Takes: Post-Beach Edition

It would be a good idea to inventory your purse before traveling the 3 hours home from the beach. Because the next morning is way too late to wonder what happened to the key fob that will cost you 300 dollars to replace.

BlogHer attendees? We don't want to hear about the great time you are having. Sorry.

The other day Rachel said, "I wish there were a money tree we could just pick money off it!" I told her, "We have one of those. You call him Daddy."

Husbands! When your wife eyes the kids' beach chair with the intent of sitting on it, do not say, "Well, that would totally finish it off!" As Larry can attest, there is no way to backtrack from that statement. Believe me, he tried.

We keep hearing that America has an obesity problem, but nothing drives that home like a day at the beach.

Considering the above, and the fact that 6 pregnancies have not done my vein-covered legs any favors, I'm thinking that there might just be a place in my wardrobe for the attractive yet modest burquini. My skirted swimsuit bottom just isn't cutting it anymore.

I've met you in person, and you do not fall under the category of obesity at the beach. And let me tell you, going to the beach as often as I do? I've seen some things that make me want to gouge out my own eyes, as well as whatever part of my brain it is that maintains those mental images.

When I was stationed at the Presidio of San Frnacisco decades ago, I made the mistake of going to the wrong end of the beach, the clothing optional end. The people that were naked really should have been clothes, a burka would have been good for them, or at least would have protected our eyes...

About Me

6 children, 1 husband (I'm boring that way). Here are the kids by name and age, to make it easy on you:
Theo (25), Anna (23), David (19), Brian (16), Rachel (14), and Susie (11, and now taller than I am).
No pictures, no real names, as my husband is totally paranoid. In a cute sort of way, of course...
